@ Trends - box-shadow on every hover

You can see box-shadow being used more often in CSS. Hover over the boxes in the sidebar on the CSS Tricks site.

They're pretty easy to do. Check this code:

Here's how the numbers break down:

box-shadow: x-offset from middle, y-offset from middle, shadow blur/falloff, shadow spread, rgba(red, green, blue, alpha transparency)

You can use negative numbers if you wish.

@ Tiled background generator

Comfortably my favourite background generator.

Another good one is bgMaker - good for pixelated backgrounds and has a realtime preview as you draw.

@ Book Cover Design Archive

A cool list of book cover designs.

@ Amazing Web-based Image Editors

I only knew about Sumo Paint...
